The driver is for the HiSilicon FMC (Flash Memory Controller), which
supports SPI NOR in addition other memory technologies, like SPI NAND.
Indeed, the naming in the driver is a little inappropriate, especially
considering that there is already another HiSilicon SPI NOR flash
controller (which I believe the FMC is derived from).
Since we now want to provide software support for this other HiSilicon
controller, update code comments to at least try to make it clear that
this driver is for the FMC.

The m25p80 driver is actually a generic wrapper around the spi-mem
layer. Not only the driver name is misleading, but we'd expect such a
common logic to be directly available in the core. Another reason for
moving this code is that SPI NOR controller drivers should
progressively be replaced by SPI controller drivers implementing the
spi_mem_ops interface, and when the conversion is done, we should have
a single spi-nor driver directly interfacing with the spi-mem layer.
While moving the code we also fix a longstanding issue when
non-DMA-able buffers are passed by the MTD layer.

In most cases this other symbol is an architecture or platform specific

Generic symbols and drivers without platform dependencies keep their
dependencies on HAS_DMA, to prevent compiling subsystems or drivers that
cannot work anyway.
This simplifies the dependencies, and allows to improve compile-testing.

* SPI Flash Controller (SPI1 and SPI2)

Each controller has a memory range on which it maps its flash module
slaves. Each slave is assigned a memory window for its mapping that
can be changed at bootime with the Segment Address Register.
Each SPI flash slave can then be accessed in two modes: Command and
User. When in User mode, accesses to the memory segment of the slaves
are translated in SPI transfers. When in Command mode, the HW
generates the SPI commands automatically and the memory segment is
accessed as if doing a MMIO.
Currently, only the User mode is supported. Command mode needs a
little more work to check that the memory window on the AHB bus fits
the module size.

Current situation with 4K sectors is quite messy. First of all, some
MTD "users" don't work with such small size. An example may be UBIFS
which requires 15 KiB erase blocks as a minimum. In theory spi-nor
should provide multiple erase regions and MTD "users" should use the
one they need. Unforunately that is not implemented.
In the result our flashes database in spi-nor is hackish. For some
flashes we pretend they don't support 4K sectors just because some
distribution uses UBIFS on it. This ofc leads to conflicts, like
Samsung using w25q128 with 4K sectors vs. OpenWrt requiring it to
pretend it's 64 KiB blocks only.
My idea (plan?) for fixing this situation:
1) Use real hw info (this requires a way for disabling 4K for now)
2) Provide detailed info about erase regions
3) Make UBIFS work with devices that support 4K sectors

(0) What is the QuadSPI controller?
The QuadSPI(Quad Serial Peripheral Interface) acts as an interface to
one single or two external serial flash devices, each with up to 4
bidirectional data lines.
(1) The QuadSPI controller is driven by the LUT(Look-up Table) registers.
The LUT registers are a look-up-table for sequences of instructions.
A valid sequence consists of four LUT registers.
(2) The definition of the LUT register shows below:
---------------------------------------------------
| INSTR1 | PAD1 | OPRND1 | INSTR0 | PAD0 | OPRND0 |
---------------------------------------------------
There are several types of INSTRx, such as:
CMD : the SPI NOR command.
ADDR : the address for the SPI NOR command.
DUMMY : the dummy cycles needed by the SPI NOR command.
....
There are several types of PADx, such as:
PAD1 : use a singe I/O line.
PAD2 : use two I/O lines.
PAD4 : use quad I/O lines.
....
(3) Test this driver with the JFFS2 and UBIFS:
For jffs2:
-------------
#flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0
#mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 tmp
#bonnie++ -d tmp -u 0 -s 10 -r 5
For ubifs:
-------------
#flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0
#ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 0
#ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N test -m
#mount -t ubifs ubi0:test tmp
#bonnie++ -d tmp -u 0 -s 10 -r 5
